>>One day she arrived home and her "dead" grandparents were in her apartment. She left everything and her entire family fled to Taiwan that night to the home of her exiled grandparents.<< Patricia - Wow. That's an amazing story. I do know that China is competing more for crude oil. I also see that they are importing a whopping 3.3 million barrels a day at this point. We consume 20 million barrels daily. Through conservation alone, we should be able to offset increased demand from China. People talk about how if we had started drilling in ANWR in 95, the oil would be flowing now. It's true. It's also true that if we had tightened CAFE standards in the 80s and 90s, we could have decreased US demand by more than ANWR could have increased supply. The more important question is what we're going to do now. - Allen
